With the onset of a pandemic, remaining fit is becoming a tad harder than usual. Here’s to getting inspiration from your favorite stars on how to keep the rhythm going and maintain a wholesome lifestyle.
BREAKFAST
Jennifer drinks lemon water every morning as soon as she wakes up. For breakfast food, Jennifer tends to switch it up! Here are some of the breakfasts she enjoys:
Avocado and eggs. This is great if your body is needing a healthy boost of protein and fat.
A shake. Jennifer’s go-to breakfast shake includes protein powder, bananas, blueberries, frozen cherries, stevia, a vegetable mix of greens, maca powder, and cacao.
Puffed millet cereal with bananas. Puffed millet is a good choice if you’re craving a breakfast cereal as it isn’t too full of sugar like many other breakfast grains. Plus, it is gluten-free!
Oatmeal. She likes to mix hers with a whipped egg white at the end. The egg gives her extra protein and also helps make it a texture she enjoys.
LUNCH
Jennifer makes sure her lunch includes vegetables and protein! She likes to make chicken salad or eat chicken burgers with a lettuce bun. To make Jennifer’s favourite salad, combine these ingredients: cucumbers, parsley, mint, red onion, garbanzo beans, feta cheese, and pistachios.
DINNER
One of her favorite dinners is a vegetable lasagna with zucchini, eggplant, and different cheeses. She also likes to cook pizzas. Jennifer doesn’t shy away from pasta either. If she’s feeling decadent, she’ll make a lean carbonara. She makes it with eggs, cheese, turkey bacon, and a little sautéed red onion and garlic, and she doesn’t include any cream or butter.
SNACKS
For snacks, Jennifer likes to combine carbs with protein. For example, she loves an apple with almond butter or some nuts. Sometimes she’ll enjoy a cup of soup in the middle of the day too. Her fridge is always full of vegetables and hard-boiled eggs to bunch on if she gets hungry. She also keeps frozen grapes in her freezer. To her, they feel like a sweet treat that she’d get at a spa.
JENNIFER ANISTON’S FITNESS ROUTINE
SHE MIXES IT UP
Jennifer says her secret is making sure her fitness routine has variety. She likes to get in different types of exercises, and she isn’t opposed to working out in her living room. Her favourite exercises are yoga, pilates, cycling, barre, and running. However, most of her workouts involve boxing, jumping rope, and strength training with resistance bands
YOGA HAS BEEN HER CONSTANT
Throughout her career, Jennifer has loved yoga. She says her toned body comes from work on the mat! She does yoga regularly, and she always combines it with some kind of cardio exercise with it. Jennifer also enjoys a spin-yoga class. In it, she spins for 30 minutes and then does 40 minutes of yoga. Sometimes, she’ll follow the class with even more time at the gym on her own!
FOCUSING ON CORE STRENGTH
Jennifer loves working her core, and boxing is one of her favorite ways to do this.But she also does a plank flow to challenge her core muscles. Here’s what she does:
- standard plank
- side plank
- other side
- plank with shoulder taps
HER CARDIO ROUTINE
If she isn’t working out with her trainer, Jennifer still makes sure to work out by herself. One of her favorite ways to get cardio in is by doing a cardio trifecta. She does this by doing 15 minutes on a bike, 15 on the treadmill running, and then 15 on the elliptical.
This routine helps her shake up and doesn’t let her get bored.
